#12523: Constructor info tables generated by GHCi don't return tagged pointers -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mniip | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHCi crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mniip): Replying to [comment:1 simonpj]: The whole problem lies in the code assigned to the `Y` constructor. When ghci uses `X` it uses the compiled info table and entry code so no problem arises. Indeed this bug is impossible to trigger without unsafeCoerce or other questionable functions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12523#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
